I once calculated based on my average MPG commuting 4hrs per day round trip in a Toyota Camry, that a full tank would get me 500 miles. On the way to work one day the low fuel light came on towards the end of my drive in.
Not wanting to fight getting back onto the freeway, and wanting the cheapest fuel I could get, I decided to drive most of the way home on the low fuel light. When I turned into the station, the car died and I coasted to the pump. The trip meter rolled exactly to 500 miles as I came to a stop.
